The seeds with the formula PR and probably alsowith the formula P give particoloreds or very light purples asthey did in family 8 x 54. They were very light however andthe 138 seeds classed as whitesor non-purples contained sameparticoloreds as is shown in thelFs generation. Theoreticallyin the F2 generation there should be 36 purples (27 PRC+9 PC),9 reds (RC), 12 particoloreds (9 PR+3 P) and 7 whites (3 C+3 PLATE -¥f<**i(^ a. F3 color segregates from cross (18x58). i.
